Stone Fruit & Heirloom Tomato Tabouli
Serves 4-5

Cooking Time: 30-35 Minutes | Chilling Time: 1-2 Hours

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups water
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 lemon, juiced
1 medium heirloom tomato, diced, juices reserve
1 garlic clove, minced
2-3 stone fruits, diced (peaches, apricots, nectarines)
1 cup chopped fresh herbs (mint, parsley, basil)
1/4 cup red or sweet onions, diced
salt & pepper to taste

Cooking Directions:

1. Rinse the bulgur until the water runs clear. Bring the water to a boil in a medium pot. Add the bulgur with a pinch of salt, reduce the heat to medium-high, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, until the water is mostly absorbed.
2. Stir the bulgur, turn off the heat, cover, and let it rest for 10-12 minutes. Fluff with a fork. If water remains, strain the bulgur. Stir in 1 tbsp olive oil and salt to taste. Let it cool for 30 minutes; or spread out on a sheet pan for quick cooling.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp oil, lemon juice, reserved tomato juices, minced garlic, and the dry herb mix. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the cooled bulgur.
4. Gently mix in the tomatoes, fruit, and fresh herbs. Season to taste. Chill for two hours before serving with fresh pita or grilled fish.
